[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 837514, member: 55987"] Finally, bought the Fold and has been using it for about 2 weeks now Speed-wise I can feel it's slightly faster than my ex-Note 10+ since it's using the SD855 but I still feel it's a bit slower than my Huawei Mate 20X. Weight-wise I find it's OK since I have been using my Huawei Mate 20X As for the crease - don't look for it and don't look at it! [ATTACH=full]226278[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]226279[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]226280[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]226281[/ATTACH] As far as the OS and software they are the same like when you are using another android phone. The difference is that I'm paying expensively for hardware technologies that many don't have at the moment. It is a device that integrates convenience and converging technologies. Yes, it is still a first gen device but the inward-folding polymer screen and the fold mechanism is something no other company can duplicate for now. Am I proud to own the Fold? Yes, I'm. Is it worth it? As an early adopter I would say yes. Is the hassle in extra care and precautions in handling causing an issue? It actually increases my awareness of my surroundings when I use the Fold like not knocking into somebody/something or vice versa, watching for trips, holding tight, not getting spilled with liquids etc Any shortfalls in the Fold that disappoints me? Yes. Releasing late, not using SD855+, not having better camera system, should come with 3D facial scan, buttonless/bezeless/notchless, in-screen speaker, under-screen ultrasonic fingerprint reader, use glass instead of polymer for screen and having the faster F2FS storage system like in its Note 10+ etc Would I buy another similar device in future as an early adopter? Yes, if the technologies then can be proven to be better than now. See some examples mentioned above FYI, plastic screen protectors are now available for the front screen, the internal screen and the rear cameras. Also, cases from Mont Blanc, UAG and Spigen are also available. BTW, the original case is slippery to hold One thing. The replacement cost for the inner polymer screen is very expensive (US$585+) after the warranty period expires Note - How to close the Fold? Do NOT press on the screen to close the Fold. Samsung recommends to press the hinge to close it. I rather press on the rim on the inside slightly away from the hinge to close it. This is not to disturb the hinge. [/QUOTE]
